Fruit
Fresh, local and seasonal. Alphonso in summer, sitaphal after the rains, watermelon that tastes like watermelon.

Ten yearsof real fruiton a stick
House of Pops is a Hyderabad popsicle brand that has been handcrafting 100% natural fruit pops since 2016. Real ingredients, made from scratch, and a lot of happy faces along the way.
Where it all began
We started with a simple belief: a popsicle should taste like the fruit it's made from, and nothing else. So we make every pop by hand, with fresh local fruit, and we never cut corners to make it last longer on a shelf.

Real
ingredients
Most things in the freezer aisle need a long label. Ours doesn't.
Milk
milk for creamy pops and specials. Our fruity sorbets skip it, so they're naturally vegan.
×Nothing fake
No artificial colours, no artificial flavours and no added preservatives. The colour you see is the fruit.
×Small batches, every day
How a pop
is made
- 1
Pick the fruit
We buy what's in season and ripe, so the flavour comes from the fruit, not a bottle.
- 2
Blend by hand
Fruit and milk, mixed in small batches in our own kitchen in Hyderabad.
- 3
Freeze on the stick
Each pop is set in its mould with our branded wooden stick.

Pack it cold

The people behind the pops
Built with heart,
one pop at a time
House of Pops is led by co-founder Tejaswi Avula. From introducing the Pop Cart to bringing natural pops to celebrations and everyday moments, her work was recognised with the Iconic Women Entrepreneur – F&B Award at The Times of India Hospitality Icons, presented by Neil Nitin Mukesh.
Behind her is a small team that still makes every pop by hand, and a community of customers who keep asking for more Sitaphal.
What we believe
Four things
we won't change
Real over easy
If it isn't real, it doesn't go in. Even when a shortcut would be cheaper.
Local first
Seasonal fruit from around us, and flavours people here grew up with: sitaphal, kala jamun, filter coffee.
Made by hand
Small batches keep every pop consistent and every flavour honest.
Just chill
Our motto since day one. A good pop should make you slow down for a minute.
Taste the difference
Ten years, three cities and a lot of sticky fingers. Thank you.
